Swollen Lump On The Knuckle After An Injury. Cartilage Damage?
Hi I punched a door about 2 months ago and after all my hand swelling and goin down there's a lump left on my knuckle where my middle finger meets my hand. When I clench my fist it's like I have a second knuckle but its all fluid feeling to push around with a Grissel feel too. Is this cartilage damage or synovial fluid that's moved my middle finger doesn't straighten completely unless forced and there's a little pain. What could this be?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The swollen lump that s not painful can be due to a soft tissue injury to the area or a hematoma formation. Rest, mild pain killers and hot fomentation should help in improvement. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
